The Top Mole and Wart Removal Options Explained

The Top Mole and Wart Removal Options Explained

Fortunately, there's quite a few mole and wart removal techniques to choose from. All of these methods fit into one of two categories: They're either home remedies or medical procedures.

If you'd like your doctor to help you remove your unwanted mole or wart, then this section is for you. He'll likely present you with one of the following choices.

First up is cryotherapy. This procedure works by applying a freezing agent to your skin. Freezing triggers cellular death, which causes the skin growth to fall off. This procedure is safe and it doesn't cause much pain. The risk of scarring is very small.

Another medical procedure is laser therapy. The laser used in this procedure can penetrate all the way down to the blood vessels underneath the skin. As you might guess, this can be painful. But overall, it's still very safe. The risk of scarring is minimal.

In addition to lasers, electric needles are also used to remove unwanted skin growths in a procedure called electro-surgery. The procedure starts by removing the top layers of the growth with an electric needle. And depending how deep the growth is, your doctor may have to cut what remains with a scalpel. Pain is usually not an issue because a local anesthetic is used. But this procedure is more likely to leave a noticeable scar.

Lastly, given that warts are caused by a virus, your doctor also has medications he can prescribe for them. Salicylic acid is the main ingredient in most of these drugs. It's proven effective at treating warts, which is why it's found in both prescription and non-prescription wart medications. Frankly, there's no simpler way to treat warts than with medication. There are almost no side effects with these drugs and they have a very high success rate. Finally, wart medications don't work overnight. That is, you have to take them for several weeks.

If none of the medical procedures just described are what you're looking for, there are also home treatments available. Of course, the cost difference between the two approaches is considerable.

But if you do try to remove the growth yourself, you should talk to your doctor first. You'll be glad once you do.

Here are some options for you to consider:

Skin growths have been successfully treated with herbs, like calendula, tea tree oil and aloe vera.

You can also try grapefruit juice. It works if you apply it to the growth daily. You have to persistent with these approaches because they can take weeks or even months to fully remove the growth.

Duct tape is another home remedy you can use if you have warts. It sounds strange, I know. But, it's doctor recommended. All you have to do is cover your wart with a small piece of tape. This causes your immune system to attack the wart virus.

Like I said before, you have many choices when it comes to removing warts and moles. The important thing is to do your research and talk to your doctor.
